Re: Bricked LG BU40N - Stuck in Boot Mode

But, writing media is what spawned this whole mess. I would like to burn some 50GB dual layer discs, and I've only heard of all the lovely firmware issues with them things. … though it remains to be seen how the 1.03MK firmware handles burning dual layer disks. If there's issues I'll probably just ...

Re: The Pit and the Pendulum - The Vincent Price Collection

Errors like this Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/00002.m2ts' at offset '4470577152' generally mean the drive was unable to correctly read the data at that spot on the disc. The standard advice is to gently clean the disc and try again. ...

Re: Prevent movie being split into parts?

Are you talking about the tv show Shōgun (1980) ? According to DVDCompare.net, the DVD release had 4 parts. https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=6021 But the Blu-ray release has 3 parts. https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=28217 I wonder if 'part 3' on the blu-ray is p...

Re: Makemkv is super slow on version 1.18.1

Sometimes when my optical drive misbehaves I find the situation is improved if I power cycle the drive. In my case, since the drives are in powered external enclosures, it is as easy as powering off the enclosure, waiting a moment and turning it back on. If the drives are inside a machine, you'll ha...

Re: Out of Sync Audio/Video on Outbreak DVD

What happens if you play the problematic .mkv files with VLC on your computer? Generally speaking, all MakeMKV does is copy the bits that are on a disc into a .mkv file. It doesn't modify the data. Almost always when a file won't play properly it is some limitation of of the player software. https:/...

Are you ripping the movie and then playing it? If so, what software are you using to play the rip?

Re: Ripping in different languages

Do you have a 'preferred language' set on the language tab of MakeMKV's preferences? I leave mine set to 'none'.

Re: Account Lookup?

I bought a key in 2019. My email was from 2checkout.com at that time. Sometime in there the payment processor switched to PayPro Global.

I'd start with PayPro Global's support.

It should. Is there any reason to think it wouldn't? With the current beta key, you can try it yourself.

Re: "Fatal error occured, program will now exit" on new Macbook

On your Mac, in MakeMKV, you can click on Help -> Register and see your license key and make a copy of it for safe keeping. Also, presumably, you still have the email from last year with your license key. When you download MakeMKV, you'll get a .dmg file. When you click on that and mount it, you'll ...

Re: "Fatal error occured, program will now exit" on new Macbook

What version of MakeMKV are you using?

In MacOS 15.4, something changed in MacOS which caused MakeMKV to crash consistently. It is fixed in version 1.18.1 of MakeMKV.

Or maybe you need to tell Gatekeeper to allow MakeMKV on your new MacBook Pro. Gatekeeper in macOS X 15 Sequoia
